Presentation
The numbered bands specify the location of the thousands of genes that are present on each chromosome. [rarediseases.org]
The patient presented with growth retardation, hypotonia, trigonocephaly, telecanthus, downward slanting palpebral fissures, bilateral inferior colobomas (of the iris, choroid, and retina), hydrocephalus, central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities, and [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Failure to Thrive

Symptoms associated with cardiac failure may include an abnormally rapid rate of breathing (tachypnea), wheezing, unusually fast heartbeat (tachycardia), and/or failure to grow at the expected rate (failure to thrive). [rarediseases.org]
- Vomiting
Pyloric stenosis can cause affected individuals to vomit forcefully and may result in dehydration, a problem that is observed in the neonatal period. Children with Jacobsen syndrome often suffer from chronic constipation. [rarediseases.org]
Musculoskeletal
- Short Arm
Each chromosome has a short arm designated “p” and a long arm designated “q”. Chromosomes are further sub-divided into many bands that are numbered. [rarediseases.org]
Treatment
Standard Therapies Treatment The treatment of partial monosomy 11q is directed toward the specific symptoms that are apparent in each individual. Treatment may require the coordinated efforts of a team of specialists. [rarediseases.org]
Prevention
Left-sided obstructive lesions are defects that prevent the adequate blood flow from the heart. [rarediseases.org]
